Thanks for the insight been wondering about that for awhile. 

Sometimes an upgrade stops here. Other times I am taken to a page that take me to the suite or to the ACP. What is the reasoning and logic to either approach?

More control over ads, ability to show adverts after post numbers, currently we can only select after the first post.
Instead of relying on mods like this that are now incompatible when it should be in the software already.

My head still things 2009 was a year ago 😄

When I was a newbie here was a lot of unknowns I still wish for this:

In my development with clients (database development - totally different then here ) we have a concept of a Development server and Production server, and we also have a Staging server. With feature requests and bug fixes I work on the Dev server it may have a sample set of data contains all the new schema and logic. Then I can migrate a clone of the Dev version merge it with data from live in to the staging and then have client test, once approved I can move Logic and Schema from the Development to the Production server preserving production data. 
So for the past many release cycles things have been pretty solid yet the latest beta and release had some hiccups based on the postings at the time. 
I post this in suggestions as I wonder what is "DATA" in our database. There is Structure that we as admins have defined and modified as how our site looks and behaves, we have Content which is uploaded content and data from users. And we have Schema that is part of the core operations. 
Would sites be more performant if there were separate databases, for various bits of the site? (it's a different database realm so I am not certain here)
Would backups be more efficient? 
Test / Production 
I would love to see at least Test / Production process on IPS if you announce a new beta or version we could snapshot our current live site over to Test run the updater on Test and if things go belly up it doesn't affect Production. Once we iron out all the kinks or wait for more stability or consume copious amounts coffee, we're confident things are working, we migrate Production site.
The other thing here is we may wish to push out many changes at once vs as you get to them by navigating the ACP.
Examples: 
Create new category or forums move things around add new plugins / applications configure new products configure new payment processors probably more but but you get the idea If there were a way to batch all these changes in to a post update process once complete the live site re-opens.
I only have a small glimpse of how this all works I imagine its like swan on a lake its all pretty above the water line but so pretty below. 🦢 😄
Food for thought and welcome discussions. 
 

Is there a way once the system deleted content that it will also slate for deletion attachments that have been orphaned? 
 

scroll to the area of Recovery Mode you can add that to your constants.php
 
 
 

I dislike how the version number is so prominent on the subject line for a download.
My File 1.0.0
Can we reformat this?

I understand the concept of oAuth for signups but in current offerings it seems that I would need to be the one in control of all the keys and setup of such Identity Provider.
Since I host forums for several affiliates as first line of tech support for their services most of their employees monitor the forms and provide assistance. Whenever they have a change in staff I have to add them to their group.
I was wondering if there was a way i could allow the lead person at that company a way to Setup their oAuth for managing their staff and all users who sign up that way are already granted the right permissions.
I am on great terms with my affiliates and could possibly reach out and we could probably get the credentials setup but it would be nice if once I granted a user to manage their users it would be on them to add their oAuth info. Perhaps stored in a hash in the db so I it would be safe. 
Curious if this is something others have done or considered.

May need to add that to the internal tags for search.

Resolved

resolved - folder permissions

There isnt something in which would allow you to change permissions like that at present unfortunately. You would need custom development for this

Same issue here - had to do this the other day because the updater didn't work server to server
And nothing on the server was changed in the last dozen updates. 

I use Mandrill / And SparkPost and when they send web hook for read/clicks etc the send an array 
{ "mandrill_events" : [ ] } This could be one object or many objects based on the cash they have in x minutes your receiver would iterate thru the array to handle each action. https://mailchimp.com/developer/transactional/docs/webhooks/
(yes it is easier to handle one at a time instead of bulk actions)
-
There are no permissions applied to the webhook so everything is visible including email / ip / personal information;  most of the data is entirely not necessary in the payload when sending off to a third party service. In addition to being a glaring breach of privacy policy and terms of services, GDPR. I my current use case I am sending it to myself but if ever wanted to employ some third party service this would be a non-starter.
-
While this is being actively developed sending proper payload is critical sending as JSON would be really helpful I can't move forward with my project because the payload I receive is escaped and become invalid JSON.
- 
It would be nice to see some more configurations to selected the web hook perhaps being able to have a web hook log to see the data being sent and if you can visualize the payload with a JSON editor that would allow you to disable keys arrays that don't need to be sent to a given web hook. 

Just want to say thanks to the support during my outage! 

It would be most helpful if the word expansion feature was something that a select group could be given (mods) where they highlight a word in a post and Define the definition or the link to another resource. From that point forward such words will have expansion. 
You only think of this as you reading and if a popular term comes up over and over and people ask for a meaning it's tedious to do this ACP task.
I consider doing something with a term dictionary via the editor but that is still an active action a user must take where as expansion is passive, plus that too is a separate data island to circumnavigate.
While you're at it it would be nice to have an Endpoint for the API.
